Instalacija
To get this up and running, you'll need to configure a few things in WordPress and Help Scout.
WordPress
- Upload the contents of edd-helpscout.zip to your plugins directory, which usually is
/wp-content/plugins/
. - Activate the Help Scout integration for Easy Digital Downloads plugin
- Set the HELPSCOUT_SECRET_KEY constant in your
/wp-config.php
file. This should be a random string of 40 characters.
Example
Replace your-random-string
with your own random string.
define( 'HELPSCOUT_SECRET_KEY', 'your-random-string' );
Help Scout
- Go to the Help Scout custom app interface.
- Enter the following settings with adjustments according to your site’s URL and the secret key.
App Name: Easy Digital Downloads
Content Type: Dynamic Content
Callback URL: https://YOUR-SITE.COM/edd-helpscout-api/customer_info (I recommend using HTTPS)
Secret Key: The value of your HELPSCOUT_SECRET_KEY constant.
Testing the plugin locally
You can set the plugin in some test mode.
Set HELPSCOUT_DUMMY_DATA
to true
and HELPSCOUT_DUMMY_DATA_EMAIL
to an email address in wp-config.php
to let the plugin use dummy data.
You can then call https://your-site.com/edd-helpscout-api/customer_info directly and get a reply based on the value of HELPSCOUT_DUMMY_DATA_EMAIL
.
ČPP
-
Help Scout just shows “Invalid Signature”
-
Make sure the “Secret Key” setting for your Help Scout application matches the value of your
HELPSCOUT_SECRET_KEY
constant. This key is used to authorize requests coming from HelpScout.

2.0
The original developer Danny van Kooten stopped working on EDD Help Scout since he no longer uses it.
The development of the plugin was taken over by Thomas Maier from https://wpadvancedads.com, who continues using the plugin.
Danny left in the middle of developing a better version 2.0. I decided to build in top of that because the changes show a lot potential and fixed some issues.
Please test carefully and let me know in case something is missing or not working as expected.
